The "Window" keys and the "Alt" keys at the bottom are opposite to what I'm accustomed. How can I swap these two keys under X? I've tried running the xkeycaps program and using the xmodmap it produces, but that failed. I tried adding these lines to my XF86Config file in the Keyboard section: LeftAlt Meta RightAlt Meta but that didn't do it. Basically, what incantation do I need to swap Meta_L with Alt_L and Meta_R with Alt_R. All the apps I use have Meta-KEY combinations and my fingers just can't deal with the swapped positions. I used to run this keyboard on BSD/OS under Xaccel and the keys were in the "right places", so that's why I'm used to it... Thanks in advance for any help. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
